I have suffered with shallow breathing my whole life, unable to sustain my breath during long exercise and unable to efficiently breathe through my nose, however this hd never been a problem until weeks ago, After my 30 day shred workout on the last day i found my self struggling to breathe for a lot longer then normal.
My lungs felt like a tight balloon and the more breaths i took the less oxygen it felt was going down. I have to breathe through my mouth and take breathes big enough to feel my lungs fill up. It gradually, over 2 weeks, has progressively worsened and i started being unable to talk to my family, i had headaches, i was unable to sleep, my appetite was much smaller, i felt lost.
I have been fit now for 2 years by regularly exercising, and i love it, so my whole world was ripped from me when i was unable to exercise like i used to, i just cried, i sat on the floor and wept.

It is getting easier now i know how to control it, i can fall asleep within about 30-45 minutes, where as before it would take up to 2 hours. I can do some cardio, today i went to town, alone. I had chest pains throughout the day but no panic attacks.
